I just picked up a couple in front of Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and the vibe that they are giving off is really strange. I would guess that they’ve probably been at Drai’s because they’re dressed up and the girl looks really tired. Aside from the initial directions they haven’t said a word to each other (or me) since they got in the cab, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve been fighting or anything. I usually find it rather strange when it happens, but people frequently act as if they’re in some sort of automated conveyance – I might as well be a robot for all the notice I’m given. Though, I must admit, sometimes I prefer it. I let them sit in silence.

The night is still young, even if I were to judge by another city’s standards, but the guy being placed into my taxi must have started drinking at some point before noon. The girl mothering him is, surprisingly, not his mother… they seem to be about the same age. She tells me to take them to the Palms and almost immediately notices the camera attached to the windshield. I explain that the camera footage is only reviewed when something happens, but I get the feeling that most people don’t believe me when I say this.

This English guy has been talking about how much trouble he’s going to be in during the entire trip to his hotel. The entire trip to his hotel…from the strip club. The three remaining passengers offer to go up to his room, wake the sleeping wife and help fabricate a believable story, but, for some strange reason, he politely declines their generosity.

Outside of my taxi there’s a man screaming obscenities at his friends… or at least the ease with which he insults them implies a long and deep friendship with the group of assholes that just won’t get into the cab fast enough. When they finally get to the taxi it is immediately apparent that this is the most unusual group of people that I’ve ever driven around: the original yelling man looks kind of like Kyle McLachlan …if he was on a diet consisting entirely of cheese. The woman that he lets into the front seat between us looks exactly like Mama Fratelli from the Goonies, and the beefy, high-school football player-looking guy that gets into the back, is apparently her son. He is sitting on one side of a very cute girl with a broken leg and on the other side of her is the biker from Erin Brockovich.
